    We had his albums growing up. I would go to school singing his songs. The kids thought I was weird but the teachers would laugh. I love his humor.

    I pursued stage and entertainment as an adult, primarily inspired by Allan Sherman and Bill Cosby. Both made me realize how clever and creative one could be with comedy. This is a lovely short retrospective of a unique, quirky man. Thank you!

    He was a very funny and talented man. I love his songs. One is Old King Louie 😂💖. The other one is the twelve days of Christmas. He died too young at 48. Died the day before his 49th Birthday. At least his songs live forever.
